Guerlain Vetiver is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2000, created by Jean-Paul Guerlain. Vetiver opens with Bergamot, Lemon, Mandarin, and Neroli, settles into a heart of Sandalwood, Vetiver, Orris, and Carnation, and dries down to a base of Leather, Amber, Oakmoss, and Tonka Bean. Guerlain's Vetiver carries a Favourite verdict, a aromatic-led wear.

This is Guerlain at its most iconic: the definitive vetiver for many, a true benchmark for all. While some find it a touch old-fashioned or weak in modern formulations, for lovers of green and classic masculine scents, it’s a timeless masterpiece. Effortlessly classy, if you can pull it off.

About

Opens with a sharp, invigorating burst of lemon, bergamot, and neroli, quickly spiced by nutmeg and coriander, underpinned by a distinctive tobacco note. The heart reveals the quintessential earthy, green vetiver, balanced with peppery carnation and smooth sandalwood. The drydown deepens into a rich, complex base of oakmoss, leather, and a hint of warm amber, softened by tonka and myrrh, leaving a trail of sophisticated, clean greenness.
